Maybe this holiday season is a good time to have that "special talk" with friends and neighbors.

Why would you expect there to be golden plates on earth when Joseph Smith said the angel took them to heaven?
Our testimony, my testimony included, is not based on observation or logic or reason. It is not worldly, and doesn't depend on worldly things. It is based on the manifestation of the Holy Ghost, of which I personally attest.
I believe in the Bible, and the Bible says Jesus is God. So I believe that Jesus is God.
Christians try to say we believe in a false Christ or some such nonsense. We believe in the same Bible you do, without reservation. None of the other revelations we consider doctrine contradict the Bible.
There were a lot of people running around at Jesus' time claiming to be Messiah, as you said. Satan often sends in the counterfeits at the same time God sends in the truth.
Did you know that Treasury Agents responsible for investigating counterfeit currency don't study various examples of counterfeit bills? They learn to recognize counterfeit money by spending hours and hours studying genuine U.S. bills, so that when they encounter counterfeit currency, it immediately stands out to them. I have studied the Holy Bible for the past 30+ years, having read through it more than 12 times. As a result, I recognize false religions posing as Christianity. Some day you will be held accountable for succumbing to the false teaching of Mormons. I'll pray that God can help you to break free from that cult. This is my last post on this.
Please share the details of how we are a counterfeit religion.
I am sure something in the Bible will contradict at least one of our teachings.
Look, the fact that the Mormon church began in the 1800's is all anyone needs to know it is a counterfeit religion. It is as valid as the Church of Scientology, also invented by a man, but about a 100 years later than Joseph Smith invented Mormonism. It's also as valid as Islam, invented by Mohammed a few hundred years after Jesus. Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega. He came in bodily form the first time, and will be coming again. Keep on believing what you do at your own peril. I'm confident, based on the words of Jesus, the teachings of His disciples, and the prophecies of the Bible, that my salvation is secure. You can be sure of your own salvation but you MUST repent of your allegiance to the Mormon church.
Whew... I never swore allegiance to the church, just to Christ.
I guess I am safe then!
I don't understand your logic, though. Can you name the years in which God is allowed to reveal his secrets to his servants the prophets (Amos 3:7)? So the 1800s are all out... what about the 1700s or 1900s? Is God forbidden from speaking to his prophets in those centuries too?
Can you tell me where in the Bible it says God will not speak to prophets in the 1800s?
